Tips from RVers
Site selection considerations: Choose cabin locations based on wind protection. "The RV and camp sites are solid. Some really good ones, and others very basic and open," notes Blaine B. about Barview Jetty.
Dump station access: Most cabin-only facilities lack RV services. "No sewer hook up, so you had to use a dump station. Not a huge inconvenience," explains C M.
Site privacy varies: Some parks offer more secluded sites than others. "We prefer loop C. There is a man made burm that keeps some wind from coming into the campground," advises Dean.
Check-out timing flexibility: County parks often have later departure times. "I love that check-out isn't until 1:30 pm (check-in is 3:30 pm, but they don't seem to mind early check-ins) which is great since I hate to rush to get things packed up in the morning," shares Kelly P.
